ONCE UPON A TIME IN NEW JERSEY

Musical Comedy...on the other side of the Hudson. Hoboken New Jersey, 1956. A funny, frantic and frenzied fairy tale about what we do for love. Sweet, shy deli clerk Vinnie switches lives with Rocco, the town stud, to win the heart of the woman he loves. A farce about dames, games, foods, feuds, molls, dolls, thugs, lugs, switches, snitches, glitches and mistaken identities... and how a simple sandwich guy becomes a hero.
